Texas Navy


Texas Navy Association




Yes, Virginia, Texas does have a navy, actually its third and now honorary, formed 1958 at the direction of Governor Daniels. The over two dozen components of the page include original documents (1830s onward), articles, archeological reports, association news, a bibliography, glossary, and frequent colorful illustrations (some animated). Includes interest in modern ships with Texas connections. Details are its delight; even the burgees of the first two navies are illustrated. Commendable design, easy to navigate, and ship-shape workmanship. Member of The Texian Web.

For the landlubbing youngsters, this may be a surprizing element to inject into the usual terrrestial discussion of the Revolution. - WH
